After a bit of a wait for me to post about, it's time to get stuck in May's MISHIBOX.

 First up we have ETUDE HOUSE 0.2 THERAPY AIR MASKS, these masks are hypo-allergenic masks that are designed to deliver nourishing ingredients without irritation. The sheet masks are very thin, allowing them to adhere to your skin perfectly. They only use EWG Level 1 and 2 ingredients. There are 15 different varieties available, which are: Ceramide (Powerful Moisture), Blueberry (Vital Firming), Snail (Glow Firming), Collagen (Plump Firming), Lotus (Calming Purifying), Manuka Honey (Moisture), Damask Rose (Water Recharge), Hyaluronic Acid (Hydrating Moisture), Pomegranate (Energy Glow), Strawberry (Vital Brightening), Lemon (Moisture Vital), Argan (Energy Firming), Olive (Moist Firming) Camellia (Elastic Gloss) and Calendula (Soothing Glow).

How To Use - After cleansing and toning, place sheet mask onto you face for 15-20 minutes. Pay any remaining essence to improve absorption.

 I got the olive mask which is the moist firming mask, personally for me there was too much essence on the mask. It was nice on my skin and it fit pretty well to my face shape and I loved the feel when I removed the mask. My skin at first was left feeling slightly greasy but overall was left feeling soft smooth and moisturised.

Retail Price: $2/£1.59

Rate 3.5/5

 Next we have PUREDERM ARGAN OIL MAKE-UP REMOVER CLEANSING TOWELETTES, these towelettes gently remove make-up, sebum and debris from your skin without irritation. They combine Argan Oil, Vitamin E, Green Tea and Aloe Vera for cleansing, toning and exfoliating, making your skin feel refreshed and soft.

How To Use - Use towelette to gently wipe skin. For waterproof make-up, let the towelette rest on the affected area for 10-15 seconds before wiping. Reseal pack after each use and dispose of used towelette in the trash as they're not suitable for flushing.

These towelettes smell really nice, they removed my make-up pretty well, with my skin being left feeling refreshed and clean. Sadly though for me, my lash line was left feeling sore from removing both my eyeliner and mascara, because of this I now cleanse first to remove my make-up and then use these to remove any remaining and missed make-up.

Retail Price: $5

Rate 3.5/5

Next we have SON & PARK BEAUTY WATER, this beauty water achieved K-Beauty cult-status as soon as it was released for it's multi-tasking effects, from cleansing, exfoliating to toning. It's created by celebrity makeup artists and this product preps the skin to create a smooth texture. You can use it in a morning to see how much better your makeup applies, as well as at night, as the Beauty Water will gently remove makeup, dirt and debris. It contains Lavender Water, Rose Water and Orange Fruit Extract to moisturise and hydrate skin, as well as Papaya Extract which exfoliates. It's also formulated without parabens, phthalatesand sulfates.

How To Use - After cleansing, apply an adequate amount onto a cotton pad and gently wipe your face. Use up to twice a day.

I thought this Beauty Water smelt gorgeous and had a really nice citrus smell. I'm not a fan of the top of the bottle as only a tiny bit of the beauty water came out, I had to really squeeze the bottle to get a decent amount out, but I'm just hoping that it was just a design fault on my bottle. It was really effective at removing my make-up and dirt and didn't irritate my lash line. My skin was also left feeling soft and clean.

We received a travel size of this product but the full size is available on the site.

Retail Price: $7.50 (Travel size) £23.80 (Full size)

Rate 4.5/5

 Next we have DR. DUO NOTOPHARM MOISTURE CREAM, this is an all-over moisture cream designed to be used from head to toe, and for all ages. The Notopharm Moisture Cream provides soft, gentle, yet deep moisturising effects. You can use it on your face, neck and/or body. The generously sized bottle will provide your entire family with lasting moisture.

How to Use - After cleansing, apply an adequate amount onto your skin, avoiding your eyes and lips. Cream may be used on face, neck and body. Use up to twice a day.

This cream smells really nice and it absorbed into my skin really well and quickly. Personally for me the cream is a little too thick for me to use as a moisturiser for my face, so I use it on my legs. It left my legs feeling really soft and moisturised and has become my favourite body moisturiser.
Retail Price: $22
Rate 5/5

Next we have MILKY DRESS BARBIE MAKE AUTO GEL LINER, this is a twist up gel liner that is available in dark brown and black. It's a gel eyeliner with a soft, creamy texture and ensures calligraphic precision and is smudge proof with high adherence that dries quickly.

 I was rather nervous about using this eyeliner as it's been a while since I've used a gel pen liner, let me also start off by saying the info card stated it was a pen eyeliner that was in our box but it was in fact a completely different product but from the same brand and line. I had a little trouble when it came to the application as the tip broke off twice while I was attempting to put it on. I wasn't expecting it to apply as well and as quickly as it did, it applied really smoothly even on top of my eye shadow, I had smooth lines which I never get from my gel and brush combo that I use. It was really long lasting and durable and didn't budge until it came to cleansing my make up off. I will happily buy this liner again and I have continued using it since my first use.
Retail Price: Unknown
Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have ETUDE HOUSE MY BEAUTY TOOL HAIR ROLLERS, these are hair rollers create beautiful curls without damaging heat. They come in two sizes: Medium and Large, so you can style the look you desire. The provided clips will secure the rollers in place while hair is styled.
How To Use - Comb out hair and roll a section of your hair with the roller. Secure with the clip. Apply heat with hair dryer or use without heat. Unroll after several minutes and style as desired. Leave roller in for a longer time for more pronounced curls.

I did try to use these to curl my fringe slightly, but when it comes to things like this I'm a complete novice so it didn't work out too well. I can say though that they work pretty efficiently I used a bit of heat for about a minute and then left the roller in till I was finished getting ready and removed it. There was a definite curl but because I seemed to have rolled it wrong it wasn't the prettiest of curls. For me it's a definitely a work in progress.
Retail Price: $4/£4.77

Now it's time to get down to the business side of the MISHIBOX, they offer 4 different subscription offers for this box. They offer a monthly recurring subscription which is $19.95/£15.14 a month, a 3-month recurring subscription which is $59.85/£45.41, a 6-month recurring subscription which is $119.70/£90.83, as well as an annually recurring subscription which is $239.40/£181.65, this does not include the shipping fee which for the UK is $5.95. I pay £19.85 a month including shipping for my box and I'm sure you can see from the products you get it's really worth the investment even with the extra charges for the box from my bank it's still a worthwhile subscription. You really get more than your moneys worth from the box, these boxes are extremely popular and sell out really fast so if you interested I would suggest being quick to avoid disappoint. You can even buy 3, 6 and 12 month gift subscription boxes as well as one-time-only boxes for the month they are prepping and taking subscriptions for, prices are the same as above.

If you have liked what you have seen in this post then head to the MISHIBOX website, and possibly sign up for their amazing subscription box, it's even great as a gift for a beauty enthusiast.

I'd have to say my favourite products from the May box have to be the Dr. Duo Notopharm Moisture Cream and the Milky Dress Barbie Make Auto Gel Liner, these are my regular use products from this box. I have no June box as there was an error and my box's were stopped because of my bank card but everything is back up and running and I will be receiving the July box.

See you soon!

MISHIBOX: September Unboxing & Review

Hello

안녕하세요

Lets get started with Septembers MISHIBOX.

First up we have a FASCY AQUA COLLAGEN MASK, these masks contain niacinamide to brighten skin, betaine, adenosine and sodium hyaluronate to help increase elasticity. There are 4 different designs on each packaging.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, remove mask from packaging and place sheet mask onto face for 15-20 minutes. Pat any remaining essence onto face to increase absorption. Use up to 3 times a week.

I love trying all the different face masks we get each month, like pretty much all the masks I've tried through MISHIBOX this mask smelt really nice and while it was easy to apply, I had to fold over the mask at the edges which caused it to overlap quite a bit because for my face shape the mask was too big for my face. For me personally there was too much essence on the mask, meaning that while I was wearing the mask the essence was dripping off onto my neck and chest. I kept the mask on for the full 20 minutes and even after removing after 20 minutes there was still a lot of essence remaining on my skin, after patting the remaining essence my skin felt slightly greasy and sticky, which thankfully didn't remain leaving my skin finally feeling soft, smooth and hydrated.
Retail Price: $3
Rate 3/5

 Next we have a ELIZAVECCA GOGGLES EYE LOCK-IN AQUA MASK, this mask rejuvenates the skin around the eyes, using ingredients such as donkey milk and coconut milk. The mask also contains ingredients such as niacinamide, glycerin and collagen to increase elasticity and hydrate skin.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, peel off the white outer layer and place mask around the yes like goggles for 15-20 minutes. Pat any remaining essence onto the skin to increase absorption.

 I found getting this mask out of the packaging and unfolding it quite fiddly, after that it was really easy to apply to my face and it left my skin feeling soft, smooth and moisturised. I really liked this mask and would use it again.
Retail Price: $3/£2.27
Rate 4/5

 Next up is a FASCY POCKET MIRROR, this pocket mirror is our spotlight item for the September box, FASCY's products range from cosmetics to accessories including wallets, mirrors and make-up brushes. FASCY is a brand that focuses on cute, individualistic characters to express a unique personality and aesthetic in all of their products. These pocket mirror come in 4 different designs which are: Bubble Tina, Wave Tina, Balloon Tina and Sunglass Tina.
How To Use - It's a simple as keeping it in your bag, purse or pocket and using it to check your appearance while on the go.

I love this pocket mirror and I love the designs that FASCY use for the their products, I got Sunglass Tina. It makes a really nice change to get an accessory instead of all the items being cosmetics as beauty products don't just mean make-up or skin care.
Retail Price: $6/£4.53
Rate 5/5

Next we have a MAKEON SUPER LONG LASTING WATERPROOF GEL PENCIL EYELINER, these eyeliners are available in 11 different colours: Black, Pearl Black, Brown, Burgundy, Gold, Beige, Purple, Deep Blue, Khaki, Peach and Choco.
How To Use - Apply onto eyelids to create your perfect make-up look.

 I received the brown eyeliner and after being told that browns can make blue eyes pop that bit more, I gave it a go. I normally use black liners and often and always have flicks when I wear eyeliner but thought I try out something different and have been using that look as my normal work make-up look. The pencil applies really quickly and smoothly, which I can sometimes have to go over with other liners to smooth it out, the colour is also really pretty and like it's name it was long lasting and lasted all day. I'm interested in trying the other colours that i like to see what other looks I can make.
Retail Price: $10/£7.55
Rate 5/5

Next we have D'RAN NEW WONDER TEA TREE SPOT GEL, this spot gel gives you clear, moisturised skin by protecting it from external irritants and stimulation. Tea Tree Oil reduces inflammation and White Willow Bark extract helps control excessive sebum production.
How To Use - After cleansing affected area, dab a small amount directly onto the blemishes.

This spot gel smells really nice, it's not rocket science to apply and is really easy and quick to do so. The spot I applied it to was really red and sore when before applying and within a couple of minutes that spot calmed down and wasn't as sore, within 48 hours the spot had reduced to the point it was almost gone, I'd definitely recommend this product for people that do suffer from spots.
Retail Price: $15/£11.33
Rate 5/5

Lastly we have PUREDERM SOFT & MILD EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER PADS, these pads say they effectively remove eye make-up, even waterproof mascara, without irritating your skin. They are free of parabens and oils.
How To Use - Use a single pad to gently wipe off eye make-up. For more stubborn make-up, let pad soak on affected area for 10-15 seconds before wiping off. Make sure to reseal the package to prevent from drying out.

 If you can tell from the pictures above, one eye has had the make-up removed to compare how it removes. The pads smell really nice and there is an adequate amount of the remover on the wipes and like it states it removed all eye make-up including waterproof mascara as well as the waterproof gel liner that I was also wearing. I used 2 wipes which was 1 wipe per eye and it did it's job quickly and effectively, without leaving my eyes feeling sore from the constant rubbing trying to remove the make-up. I definitely think I will be making a purchase of these wipes as they are fast working and soothe my eyes while removing the make-up.
Retail Price: $6/£4.53
Rate 5/5

Now it's time to get down to the business side of the MISHIBOX, it seems that they no longer off different subscription offers as the only one available now on the website is the monthly recurring subscription which is $19.95/£16.33 a month, this does not include the shipping fee which for the UK is $5.95. I pay £20 a month including shipping for my box and I'm sure you can see from the products you get it's really worth the investment even with the extra charges for the box from my bank it's still a worthwhile subscription. You really get more than your moneys worth from the box, these boxes are extremely popular and sell out really fast so if you interested I would suggest being quick to avoid disappoint.

If you have liked what you have seen in this post then head to the MISHIBOX website, and possibly sign up for their amazing subscription box, it's even great as a gift for a beauty enthusiast.

I pretty much loved Septembers MISHIBOX but I do often feel guilty if I'm not a fan of some products because I feel that what I think could deter people from buying and trying products, just remember what doesn't work for me or my skin, might work for yours and what I say about the products is down to my opinion and how it makes my skin feel, for example having water(hair getting washed and rinsed and hairdressers) or products drip on me while I'm dry and dressed, makes me feel uncomfortable, hence why I prefer a face mask that isn't doused in essence. Overall another great box from MISHIBOX, we've had an email giving us a spoiler for one of the products for the October box, giving a choice of which of the 2 products we'd like to receive in the next box. I can't wait for my next box.

See you soon!

MISHIBOX: October Unboxing & Review

Hello

Lets get into October's MISHIBOX.

First up out of the box we have a PROUD MARY ANIMAL MASK PACK, these are character masks and since I saw Jackson from GOT7 use one of these masks I wanted to try one for myself because they look fun. We were sent a mask at random, the info card showed that there was a tiger mask, a monkey mask and a panda mask, each mask did something different. The tiger mask is for wrinkle care and elasticity, the monkey mask is for soothing, pore care and sebum control and finally the panda mask is for brightening and moisturising.

How To Use - After cleanser and toner, place on face for 10-20 minutes. Remove mask and gently pat for absorption.

It wasn't till I took the mask out of the packaging that I realised it was a character mask, it was really fun to use. I left the mask on for the full 20 minutes and when I took the mask off it was pretty much dry, so my skin must have needed it. I'd love to try more of these from this brand but I couldn't find them on the MISHIBOX website, so I'm on the hunt for my of these types of masks to try and use.

Retail Price: $3/£2.40

Rate 5/5

Next up we have a HONGIK SKIN O2 BUBBLE FOAM CLEANSER, it's said that this gentle bubble mask pack doubles as a cleanser with puffy, creamy bubbles. It has moisture retaining oxygen bubbles and vitamin capsules that help lift heavy make up and residues in pores without irritating or dehydrating the skin. There are 2 versions of this product available and both do different things, the Aqua version is purifying and hydrating, while the Olive version is more moisturising.

How To Use - Use 4-5 times a week. Apply onto dry, cleansed face, Rinse off with warm water after 1-2 minutes.

I've only used this cleanser once and as you can see from the pictures I got the Aqua version. This has to be my favourite cleanser not only that I have received through MISHIBOX but the best cleanser I have ever used. It may not tackle my mascara but the rest of my make up was removed with this cleanser. It felt really weird feeling it bubble but it was obviously doing as advertised. This is a cleanser I will start to use on a regular basis and recommend others to use too as my skin was left feeling clean and refreshed.

Retail Price: $22/£17.49

Rate 5/5

Next we have a LADYKIN GREEN HARMONY MASK PACK, these were another item we were sent at random as there are 4 different versions, all tackling different areas. It's a wash off mask pack that comes in Pumpkin, blueberry, Pear and Chrysanthemum. The Pumpkin mask contains pumpkin extract, vitamin A, C and E to moisturize skin, repair skin damage, soothe and soften skin, remove dead skin cells, unclog pores and control sebum. The Blueberry mask is rich in vitamins A, B and C that help to repair skin damage, clear acne, provide anti-aging benefits and brighten the skin tone. The pear mask is rich in vitamin C and K, which help repair skin damage, moisturize, heal acne, and control sebum. The Chrysanthemum mask is great for calming, relaxing and hydrating tired and sensitive skin.

How to Use - Apply evenly onto your face while avoiding the lip and eye areas and leave on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry your face.

I received the Pear mask in my MISHIBOX and it definitely left my skin feeling soft and moisturised, I can often get an oily T-zone but this masked cleared it up straight away, my skin was left feeling more supple. It was really easy to apply and smelt really nice, it went on like a really thin cream.

Retail Price: $3/£2.40

Rate: 5/5

Next out of the box we have a LADYKIN AFFINITIC CREAM/MOISTURISER, we were sent these in a mini size, which is pretty much a tester size, again we were sent one at random as there are 2 different ones there is a pink one that is a cream and a blue one which is a moisturiser.  The Affinitic Snail Cream is formulated with 80% snail mucin filtrate to moisturize, provide anti-aging, skin elasticity, skin damage prevention and glossy skin benefits. The Affinitic Whitening Moisturiser is formulated with yam extract, pine leaf extract, cypress extract and green tea extract to provide brigthening, pore care, sebum care, soothing and moisture.

How To Use - After your cleanser and toner, take an appropriate amount and gently apply along with the skin texture. Gently tap to help with absorption.

I received the blue snail which is the moisturiser, and I'm glad I received this one as I now use this after removing my make up as my eyelids can feel sore after removing my mascara and eye liner and applying this after really soothed how sore my eyelids felt. My hands did feel a bit sticky after using this but the benefits from using it make that fact a minor problem. My skin was left feeling soothed, moisturised and soft. This is a product that I would go on to purchase the larger version when the rest of my serum and moisturisers have run out.

Retail Price: $5/£3.99

Rate 5/5

Lastly out of the October MISHIBOX we have a MCC ACCENT GEL EYELINER, this product says it's great for sensitive skin types as it has a gentle, low-irritation formula made with sweet almond oil and argan oil. It includes a delicate brush that makes it easy to draw sharp lines.

How To Use - Take a reasonable amount with the included brush and apply along the lines of the eyes. To remove, make sure to use a make up remover with soft cotton to gently melt away the eyeliner.

This eye liner is great and easy to use, it applies better than other gel eyeliners I have used in the past but sadly for me it's one of the eyeliners that causes my eyes to water, which means I'm often dabbing the corners of my eyes where I place my flicks and which then in turn ends up with the flicks disappearing. Even though it's no necessarily the best on my eyes I would recommend this eyeliner and will continue to use it even if I have to use a separate eyeliner for my flicks, as this eyeliner seems to take me less time to apply compared to another that I use. I also used this for my Halloween make up for work when I was dressed as a cat, it's perfect for cat whiskers and features, it lasted my full shift.

Retail Price: $18/£14.37

Rate 4/5

Now it's time to get down to the business side of the MISHIBOX, it seems that they no longer off different subscription offers as the only one available now on the website is the monthly recurring subscription which is $19.95/£16.33 a month, this does not include the shipping fee which for the UK is $5.95. I pay £20 a month including shipping for my box and I'm sure you can see from the products you get it's really worth the investment even with the extra charges for the box from my bank it's still a worthwhile subscription. You really get more than your moneys worth from the box, these boxes are extremely popular and sell out really fast so if you interested I would suggest being quick to avoid disappoint.

Overall I think has been one of my favourite boxes from MISHIBOX and next month I will have been subscribed for a year. It may not be good for your skin to constantly apply different products but I've noticed through these boxes my skin has felt better from all the products I've tried and tested, I have a big line of serum's and moisturisers that are in their full sizes that I still have to use but for now I'm only using one at a time till they each run out then it's back to MISHIBOX to repurchase my favourites.

If you have liked what you have seen in this post then head to the MISHIBOX website, and possibly sign up for their amazing subscription box, it's even great as a Christmas gift for a beauty enthusiast.

See you soon!
